Champion for the Innocent

I was wrongly charged with a sexual offense in which the prosecutor wanted me to do prison time and register as sexual offender, even though I was innocent. Will took the prosecutor to the mat. He interviewed all of the witnesses and knew the case backwards and forwards. On the eve of trial, the pro...secutor knew Will was ready for trial, and she could not win the case. She tried to sell me probation deal if I would confess to a crime I did not commit. Will believed in me and advised me to take the case to trial. The prosecutor dismissed the case. I know that if it wasn't for Will, I would have been railroaded into a plea or worse.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
